She worked on creek street and eventually became a madame....my great grandma, Alise, was her daughter and her father was a lawyer in the area....my grandpa was born in Alaska, I think in Ketchikan.

This is your first posting on the Rootsweb message boards (at least under this user name). You did a good job posting the needed information about your person. It would have also helped to identify your GGGrandfather's brothers name and information. "If" he was a tailor in occupation, that may have identified a different John than the one in Alaska. This also may have lead to others posting family trees or other sources of information that may have identified the sought person John with locations or family. Bottom line, just to many to prove/disprove any being correct.<br><br>Research:<br><br>With the exception of the 1900 Census that you identified as being the correct person, there are other John Gigler that have potential throughout the country. I also checked Canadian resources. <br><br>The 1900 Census for Ketchikan, Southern Supervisors District, AK, enumerated March 15, 1900.<br>John Gigler, located in AK: Mar 1898; address of home: New York, NY, born Dec 1866, born in Hungary to both parents born in Hungary, immigrated 1885/status: "Na"(naturalized. He was a Groceryman at home, mining in AK. <br>--He was a partner with a Frank Fredricko(Fredrisko?), also from NY. His DOB was Oct 1863 but shown as 26.<br><br>The 1910 Census for Township 16, Kern County, CA, enumerated 13 June<br>John Gigler(transcribed as Jigler), age 44(1865/1866), born in Hungary, immigrated 1891/Na, Miner/Gold, working on Own Account versus worker for others as were so many of the others listed. Living as a boarder in a boarding house headed by Mike Casey, 32, Canadian, waiter in the house.<br>--Bit of a difference in year of immigration between this person and the one in 1900, and the one in 1920. But the year it often wrong, depending on who provided info. "Sometimes" that year was the year of naturalization, as given by the person.<br><br>A family tree: "Creighton - Clouatre Ancestors" has a Leona May Cuttler, spouse: "John Giglir." Access was not available, either a glitch or the owner had removed the family tree from the posted Public Trees. <br>--The 1900 and 1910 Census show a Mary Cutler/Cuttler, born Mar 1896 in Montana, dau of David. In Deer Lodge Co, 1910.<br>Another family tree shows this Mary born 1896, married to a James Hotchkiss. This marriage may have come after the Gigler, or it is the wrong person. <br>There is not enough information on this/these person(s). I wouldn't pay for the marriage certificate research. I'd try other avenues first. I would not pay for Alaska research.<br><br>----The John B. Gigler and wife Theresa--------<br>Also in 1900:<br>John B Gigler, born Nov 1966, born in Germany, immigrated 1888, a tailor, married to Teresa. Living with him was his brother, John E. Gigler, a tailor, born Dec 1879, immigrated 1892.<br><br>The 1910 Census for West Deptford, Gloucester, NJ, 27 April.<br>John Gigler, 42(1867/1868), born in Germany, immigrated 1893, hired man/farm laborer ("Possibly" the John B, married to Theresa).<br>--I think this person has "potential" to be the correct one, but is NOT proven. After WWI, the Austro-Hungary empire was reduced to ...nothing. In 1919, the Communist party took over the government and created the Hungarian Soviet Republic. In 1920, the Treaty of Trianon was signed, about one third of the ethnic Hungarian population became citizens of other countries. So, the question: "IF" this is the correct person, was HE, himself, enumerated, or was his information provided by his employer, Benjamin Lodge? MANY people in the census had their information provided by others. "IF" this is the correct person, did HE identify himself as a German versus Hungarian due to political, social reasons? I have seen this, thus, this person is shown, until proven/disproven. <br><br>The US Naturalization Index:<br>John B. Gigler, naturalized US District Court, August 17, 1897, address: 1525 2nd Ave, NY, occupation: Tailor. Born Sept 21, 1866, nationality: German. Arrived New York, June 20, 1888. <br>--This person also has potential, but could be the person in the 1920 census, or neither could be the correct person. <br><br>Obit, New York, <br>Gigler, Oct 10, 1936, John E., husband of Therese Gigler, 69, North 9th St, Newark, services at Charles J.

I am looking for, my great-great-grandfather’s brother, is called John Gigler. He was baptized in Budapest on September 14th 1866. His parents were Joseph Gigler and Elisabeth Liegl, both born in Hungary. According to the US Census of 1900 he emmigrated to he US in 1895 (to New York City). He was also recorded as „miner“ in „Ketchikan mining district“. The Census furthermore states, that he had been naturalized by then, and came to Alaska in 1898.<br>I would be very glad if somebody could help me out my any information about a possible marriage, children, date or place of death or any other events in his life. <br><br>Kind regards<br>2011-03-19 20:02:39Zklinga228http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/400/mb.ashxRe: Foglehttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/41.1/mb.ashx

<br> I am searching for an obituary and any information about Mary Elizabeth (Semple) Nichuals. She was born 30 Jun 1909 in Philadelphia,PA, a daughter of William Grant Semple and Minnie Nagle. She died 9 Feb 1989 in Ketchikan, Alaska. She married Vincent P. Nichuals. He died 13 Jan 1974 in Miami, Florida. They had a son that married a Thomas, adaughter of Irving Thomas and Nettie Mathis. There was a story in the family about her losing a leg in a trolly car accident. Don't know if she is the one tis happened to but it happened in Philadelphia. Any info appreciated. She was my gt grandmother's neice. 2009-09-01 14:35:30Zrhondafaye54http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/392/mb.ashxRe: Mary Elizabeth (Semple) Nichualshttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/392.1.1/mb.ashx
Thanks for your reply. I found a posting that was put online by Mary Semple's son a long time back. It led me to Surprise, Arizona. I called information and got a phone number of Mary's grandaughter. Mary's son had passed which is when his postings stopped. I called and spoke to his widow who was Mary's daughter in law. The son and Mary his mother are both buried in Ketchikan. What a find! We keep in touch now and traded family photos. She had pictures of my gt gt grandparents that our family had never seen. She had pictures of Mary as a child and her parents. Mary's father was my gt grandmother's brother so it was great to get pictures of him and his family. We had pictures and info that they didn't know. Ancestry is great in connecting families! You are right Ketchikan was very helpful and I did talk to Katy. She wanted me to let her know what I found and I called her back after our families made the connection. She was thrilled for us to find each other. Thanks again for your help. 2010-04-04 17:47:20Zrhondafaye54http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/392.1.1/mb.ashxRe: re Bror Erickson, Annette Island WW2http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alaska.ketchikan/404.2/mb.ashx

John Schuette Across Sea is Dead Hans Hanson, former Manitowoc man and a son of Jasper Hanson, Manitowoc's pioneer ship builder, died in Alaska December 6, according to word received from his brother, W. M. Hanson. The funeral was held at Ketchikan, Alaska, under the auspices of the local Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska of which deceased was a member. Mr. Hanson was about seventy-five years of age when he was called to his final rest and only the old residents here will recollect him. He was a sailor on the lakes and when the Schooner John Schuette was taken to the ocean he was a member of the crew. On the first trip across Brooks, a captain from Racine, was in command with a man by the name of Johnson from this city as navigator. After the return to this country Brooks and Johnson both left the craft to return to their home and Hanson continued to sail the boat for many trips, making one trip to Gloucester with turpentine and another trip to London with rosin. Later he drifted to Alaska and it was there he was overtaken in his cabin near Niblack by a stroke of paralysis. He was discovered by a neighbor and rushed to the hospital at Ketchikan but died the next day. He is survived by two sisters and a brother, Mrs. Elizabeth Gregg of Anaheim, California and another sister whose name is not known here and the brother, W. M. Hanson at Butte, Montana. Mr. Hanson was never married.
